I tested again using Kubuntu Hardy updated to the 2.6.27-rc3 kernel mentioned above.
A 300GB Caviar SE PATA drive attached using a USB-IDE bridge cable gave the following transfer speeds when copying files using Dolphin: Async: 20MB/s Sync: 2.4MB/s There was a lot more head activity in sync mode (understandably, I think). I can't directly compare this result to my last test back in June 2007 since I'm using a different drive, however there's still a massive performance between sync and async. -- Low performance on usb-media and DVD-RAM in sync mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
